I remember when I bought my Leica M6 from a Sony Artisan. Immediately after purchasing it, I loaded it with film and took a photograph of the Norwood Club, where we did the transaction. The fine gentleman who sold it to me was touched emotionally because he realized that he was a part of the process of my making my first image with that camera. That statement didn’t strike me all that much back then, but as time has gone on, it resonates with me so much. I still own it, and only once did I ever consider selling it when Phoblographer was in a very bad spot financially. The price of my Leica M6 has gone up and down. After getting a CLA last year, it still feels and runs like it did so many years ago. This, honestly, is what separates Leica from every other camera brand on the market.
